Blackout not working anymore on QLC+ 4.13.0 #1533

Describe the bug After upgrading QLC the blackout button doesn't work anymore

To Reproduce

  1. Create a new show
  2. Patch some dimmers
  3. Create a virtual desk with some fader set to control the dimmers's levels
  4. Go live
  5. Toggle blackout doesn't work

Expected behavior I expect the blackout button to set all dimmers to 0, as in previous versions Please note that the grandmaster fader works so it isnt a patch issue

Hey, there has been a change to QLC+ dimming which actually came about in 4.12.7

This was done so only HTP (highest takes priority) channels were set to 0. Which means when you hit blackout the movement channels don't go to zero.

From Massimo on the forum: "Blackout was once resetting ALL channels (HTP+LTP) As requested, I adapted it like all the consoles in the world do: reset only HTP channels Stop all functions instead, stops ALL the running functions, leaving LTP channels where they were (so they're not reset too)"

I'm pretty sure that blackout still works for the generic dimmers but I don't have it in front of me.

Can someone else confirm?
